We consider the equation ${\Delta}_mu=p(x)u^{\alpha}+q(x)u^{\beta}$ on $R^N(N{\geq}2)$, where p, q are nonnegative continuous functions and 0 < ${\alpha}{\leq}{\beta}$. Under several hypotheses on p(x) and q(x), we obtain existence and nonexistence of blow-up solutions both for the superlinear and sublinear cases. Existence and nonexistence of entire bounded solutions are established as well.

We consider the finite element method applied to nonlinear Sobolev equation with smooth data and demonstrate for arbitrary order ($k{\geq}2$) finite element spaces the optimal rate of convergence in $L_{\infty}\;W^{1,{\infty}}({\Omega})$ and $L_{\infty}(L_{\infty}({\Omega}))$ (quasi-optimal for k = 1). In other words, the nonlinear Sobolev equation can be approximated equally well as its linear counterpart. Furthermore, we also obtain superconvergence results in $L_{\infty}(W^{1,{\infty}}({\Omega}))$ for the difference between the approximate solution and the generalized elliptic projection of the exact solution.
